About MeHandpainted cylindrical porcelain teapot with a mixture of East Asian and European style decoration of birds and flowers and a moulded knop with grapes on the cover. This teapot demonstrates the interest in East Asian or chinoiserie designs at this time in Europe.More About Me
Would we enjoy drinking tea more if we took the time to make it in a beautiful teapot like this one rather than just dunking a teabag in a cup with milk?
